Sherlock

This game is by 'Einstein's puzzle'. Is it reported that Einstein said of the riddle, "Only 2 percent of the world's population can solve it". Which might be true only if they tried to do it the same way as Einstein normally solved logic riddles, completely in his mind without external notes. It should be noted that there is very little evidence that Einstein invented this riddle or made the 2% statement. It should also be noted that the puzzles in this game differ from the original riddle not just in symbols of number and quality of clues and the game automatically keeps notes for player .

This game sort of randomizes the clues and uses cards with different symbols instead of the original objects. It is a 6x6x6 problem (6 columns, 6 types of cards, 6 of each type). They reside in columns instead of houses. There is a grid with all the possible answers filled in already. You can examine the clue and eliminate answers until there is only one left. Or just choose the answer as a short cut (if you know it, or are feeling lucky). The right side of there screen has the "horizontal" clues and the bottom is the "vertical" clues.
